Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Skipton, BD23 :

A superior three bedroom period cottage, greatly extended and improved with many delightful features and up to date services with recently built double garage and office above, ample parking and delightful grounds, centrally located in this ever popular village between Skipton and Ilkley.

Fern Cottage is a charming and deceptively large detached stone built period home.   There is a wealth of period features including exposed beams and stonework with a substantial programme of improvement and renovation having been undertaken by the present owner.   The living space is arranged over two storeys and has been also extended to include a large L-shaped family room abutting the property's kitchen. The reception space is approached from a central hallway including the dining room, living area and sitting room together with the aforementioned high quality bespoke kitchen with several appliances and ample ancillary space.   To the upper storey are three good sized bedrooms, one with a dressing room and one with en-suite as well as the property's bathroom.   

For those working from home, Fern Cottage will prove ideal.   A substantial detached stone garage block has been constructed close to the property which benefits from a large modern office area above with space approaching 400 sq ft which is self contained. This is ideally suited for the live/work purchaser and is right for conversion to form a useful granny annex to compliment the main accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The property has two parking areas and delightful cottage style gardens, as well as a flagged sitting out area.

Fern Cottage sits in a central location of this small village community which enjoys a very pleasant location just off the A65 in open countryside between Skipton and Addingham. Readily accessible is the market town of Skipton, with its wide range of facilities including highly regarded schools, supermarkets, quality retail outlets and leisure amenities and only a short drive away is the spa town of Ilkley with its similar wide array of quality facilities. The village enjoys good communications via the A65 and A59 to the business centres of East Lancashire and West Yorkshire. There are railway stations at both Skipton and Ilkley, whilst Leeds/Bradford Airport is also readily accessible. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is also close to hand and there are many pleasant walks to be enjoyed in the magnificent countryside surrounding the village.
